Ingredients

one cup cooking oil

two to three pounds (or more) of sweet potato greens, or similar

one onion, chopped

one hot chile pepper, cleaned and chopped (or left whole) -- for a spicy hot dish, cut the chile pepper into small pieces; for a milder taste, leave it whole and remove it before serving

one piece of dried, salted, or smoked fish (such as cod or herring), soaked in water and washed

one tablespoon tomato paste

one-half teaspoon baking soda

one-half cup of dried shrimp or dried prawns (or a handfull of fresh shrimp or prawns)

any fish, pan-fried and cut into pieces (optional)

chicken, pan-fried and cut into pieces (optional)

salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the greens, onion, pepper, dried fish, tomato paste, baking soda, and dried shrimp or prawns (if desired). Cook for fifteen minutes, stirring often.

When greens are tender, add fresh shrimp or prawns, and fried fish or chicken. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve with Rice.

This sounds delicious, princesa. I have grown many sweet potatoes, but no one ever told me you could eat the vines. Please let me know how they taste. Could probably use other greens also. Thanks
